We are living in a less compassionate and more plutocratic country because some voters believed Trump was going to lower the price of eggs.

So they said. You really think someone was going to respond to a poll by saying "As long as Trump validates my hate and pisses off liberals he's got my vote!"? And notice the same voters started making excuses for high prices once Trump was in office.

This isn't complicated: a very large population of Americans is very low-info when it comes to politics and the news, and a large population of voters is hooked to the right-wing media ecosystem which feeds them lies about what he's doing and its great harm. This is how Trump won.

You have to ask yourself and let them know that you are not a Christian. I look at the ones waving the Bible and compare them to the pharisee’s who put Jesus to death. They didn’t care about the truth or the teaching of Jesus. They are sad, pathetic and will be judged. It’s sad for the country.

The Pharisees mostly disappear from the narrative once Jesus reaches Jerusalem and the deicide libel starts. Which makes sense for the Pharisaic movement was decentralizing Judaism away from temple worship to practices in homes and synagogues that could spread to across the land and the diaspora

Pharisees were demonstrably interested in eliminating capital punishment in society in general, and most of what Jesus preached was stuff he got from them anyway. They could not have effected his death, and they wouldn't have been interested in doing so. Luke even says they saved his life once.
